[0082] In practical applications, the measurement interval is configured through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. Combining Figure 1 , the configuration parameters involved include the measurement interval period, the Measurement Gap Length (MGL), the offset, etc. During the measurement gap length, the terminal disconnects from the current serving frequency point and tunes to the target reference symbol position for measurement. At this time, the original serving cell cannot schedule the terminal. Therefore, the terminal can only perform measurements on the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval, resulting in measurement interruption and a large throughput loss. Moreover, since it is uncertain when the terminal performs measurements on the deactivated cell, the network cannot determine the location of the measurement interruption either.

[0083] As a special type of measurement interval, for NCSG, the terminal can also perform data transmission and reception of the serving cell and neighbor cell measurement simultaneously within a partial time domain range during the MGL. As Figure 2 shown, this time domain range is called the Measurement Length (ML), and there will be a relatively short interruption time (Visible Interruption Length, VIL) in the two time domain ranges before and after the ML. The introduction of NCSG can be used to perform measurements on the deactivated cell, and the interruption duration of NCSG is relatively short, which can reduce the throughput loss. At the same time, the interruption position is also controllable for the network. Therefore, the terminal can perform measurements on the deactivated cell within the NCSG to avoid measurement interruption and effectively control the throughput.

[0084] As another type of measurement interval, the Concurrent Gap can configure at least two measurement intervals through RRC signaling. Each Measurement Object (MO) needs to be associated with and can only be associated with one measurement interval in the concurrent gap, and each MO only performs measurements within the associated measurement interval. Then, it can be imagined that if the measurement intervals configured in the concurrent gap include NCSG and non-NCSG, there may be a situation where some MOs are associated with the NCSG and some MOs are associated with the non-NCSG measurement intervals. If each MO in the concurrent gap is in an active state, since each MO only performs measurements within the associated measurement interval, that is, the MO associated with the NCSG only performs measurements within the NCSG, and the MO associated with the non-NCSG measurement interval only performs measurements within the non-NCSG measurement interval. Then, once the cell associated with the non-NCSG measurement interval is deactivated, the terminal needs to perform measurements on this cell outside the measurement interval, thus bringing additional throughput operations and affecting the communication efficiency.

[0085] Based on this, in each embodiment of the present application, the terminal performs measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG; and / or, the terminal sends first information to the network, where the first information includes at least one of a cell supporting NCSG, a frequency band supporting NCSG, a frequency point supporting NCSG, and information indicating that only the deactivated secondary cell supports NCSG; and / or, obtains second information, where the second information is used to indicate the association or non - association of a frequency point with a measurement interval. Based on the above solution, in the case where the deactivated cell is associated with a non - NCSG measurement interval, it is possible to avoid the situation where the terminal performs measurements on the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval, thus avoiding the resulting throughput loss.

[0086] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0087] An embodiment of the present application provides a measurement method applied to a terminal. Referring to Figure 3 , the method includes:

[0088] Step 301: Perform measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the network - controlled small interval NCSG; and / or, send first information to the network, where the first information includes at least one of a cell supporting NCSG, a frequency band supporting NCSG, a frequency point supporting NCSG, and information indicating that only the deactivated secondary cell supports NCSG; and / or, obtain second information, where the second information is used to indicate the association or non - association of a frequency point with a measurement interval.

[0089] Three solutions are given in step 301. Here, these three solutions can be used independently or in any combination.

[0090] Among them, the network can also be described as a network - side device or a base station. The terminal performs the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell, which can also be described as: the terminal performs the measurement of the frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell. The frequency band can also be described as a measurement object, or described as an MO. Performing the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG can also be described as when the secondary cell is deactivated, the MO of the deactivated secondary cell is measured within the NCSG. The measurement interval outside the NCSG can be understood as other types of measurement intervals outside the NCSG, such as Pre - MG, MUSIM, Type - 2 MG, etc. A cell that supports the NCSG can be described as a cell that supports measurement through the NCSG; a frequency band that supports the NCSG can be described as a frequency band that supports measurement through the NCSG; a frequency point that supports the NCSG can be described as a frequency point that supports measurement through the NCSG. The frequency point can also be described as a measurement object (MO, Measurement Object). When implemented in an application, the measurement object can be identified by the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN).

[0091] When the terminal performs the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG and is implemented as an independent solution, it can be understood that it is predefined by the protocol: when the frequency point is not associated with the NCSG, the terminal measures the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG; or, when the frequency point is not associated with the NCSG, the terminal measures the deactivated secondary cell of this frequency point within the NCSG. Since the measurement interval outside the NCSG cannot be used for the measurement of the deactivated cell, therefore, adopting the above - mentioned solution, in the case where the frequency point is associated with a measurement interval outside the NCSG, it can be avoided that the terminal can only measure the deactivated secondary cell outside the measurement interval, that is, it can be avoided that the terminal can only measure the deactivated secondary cell outside the NCSG and the measurement interval outside the NCSG, thus avoiding additional throughput loss.

[0092] The terminal sends first information to the network, where the first information is used to indicate that NCSG is only supported for a deactivated secondary cell, and may include a cell supporting NCSG and / or a frequency band supporting NCSG and / or a frequency point supporting NCSG and / or other information for indicating that NCSG is only supported for a deactivated secondary cell. Here, that NCSG is only supported for a deactivated secondary cell can be understood as that when the secondary cell is activated, NCSG cannot be used for measurement, and when the secondary cell is deactivated, NCSG can be used for measurement. In this way, after receiving the first information, when the network configures the association between the measurement interval and the frequency point, it can associate the frequency point of the deactivated secondary cell with NCSG, rather than associating it with a non-NCSG measurement interval, so that subsequently the terminal can also perform measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within NCSG. Among them, that NCSG is only supported for a deactivated secondary cell can also be described as only supporting the NCSG of the deactivated secondary cell, or described as only supporting the NCSG for the deactivated cell.

[0093] The terminal obtains second information, where the second information is used to indicate the association of the frequency point with the measurement interval, or the second information is used to indicate not to adopt the association of the frequency point with the measurement interval. Specifically, that the second information is used to indicate the association of the frequency point with the measurement interval can be understood as that the second information includes the frequency point adopting the association with the measurement interval; that the second information is used to indicate not to adopt the association of the frequency point with the measurement interval can be understood as that the second information includes the frequency point not adopting the association with the measurement interval.

[0094] In an embodiment, the second information includes a frequency point not adopting the association with the measurement interval, or includes a frequency point adopting the association with the measurement interval.

[0095] In practical applications, the second information can be sent from the network to the terminal, or can be predefined by the protocol. If the second information is sent from the network to the terminal, then the terminal obtains the second information specifically as: the terminal receives the second information sent by the network. If the second information is predefined by the protocol, then the terminal obtains the second information specifically as: the terminal or the chip built in the terminal processes according to the second information stipulated by the protocol during production.

[0096] Here, it can be determined by the network whether to allow the UE to measure the deactivated cells of unassociated frequency bands within the NCSG. Since the measurement duration is proportional to the number of frequency bands or the number of deactivated cells, when the number of deactivated cells is excessive, if all deactivated cells are measured within the NCSG, the measurement duration will increase. Based on this, if the network allows the UE to measure the deactivated cells of unassociated frequency bands within the NCSG, it can indicate which specific frequency bands or which cells can be measured within the NCSG. In this way, in scenarios with high timeliness requirements, if the network indicates the association between frequency bands and measurement intervals, then some cells or some frequency bands can be allowed to continue using the configured association with the measurement interval. For cells or frequency bands that are not associated with the NCSG, the corresponding deactivated cells are measured outside the measurement interval, thereby reducing the measurement duration as a whole. For scenarios with different timeliness requirements or scenarios with high throughput requirements, if the network indicates not to use the association between frequency bands and measurement intervals, then some cells and some frequency bands can be allowed to ignore the configured association with the measurement interval. For cells or frequency bands that are not associated with the NCSG, the corresponding deactivated cells can be measured within the NCSG.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, one of the prerequisites for the UE to send the first information to the network or receive the second information sent by the network is that the UE or the network can perform measurements on deactivated secondary cells within the NCSG. Specifically, performing measurements on deactivated secondary cells within the NCSG includes:

[0098] In one embodiment, the performing measurements on deactivated secondary cells within the NCSG includes:

[0099] When the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG, perform measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG.

[0100] Here, that the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG can also be described as that the frequency band of the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG. That the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG includes the case where the deactivated secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG. That the deactivated secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG can also be described as that the frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG.

[0101] In one embodiment, the performing measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG when the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG includes:

[0102] When the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG and the SMTC and the NCSG partially or completely overlap, perform measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG.

[0103] In one embodiment, performing measurements on deactivated secondary cells within the NCSG includes:

[0104] If the deactivated secondary cell has the same FR as the NCSG, measure the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG;

[0105] If the frequency of the deactivated secondary cell is the same as the FR of the NCSG, measure the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG;

[0106] For a terminal that supports one NCSG per FR (per-FR NCSG), if the deactivated secondary cell has the same FR as the NCSG, measure the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG;

[0107] For a terminal that supports per-FR NCSG, if the frequency of the deactivated secondary cell is the same as the FR of the NCSG, measure the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG.

[0108] Here, FR is Frequency Range, that is, the frequency range. Per-FR NCSG can be described as: configuring an NCSG for each FR, which can be understood as supporting different NCSGs for FR1 and FR2. Corresponding to per-FR NCSG is Per-UENCSG, which can be described as: for a terminal that does not support per-FR NCSG, the NCSGs for FR1 and FR2 are the same for this terminal. Supporting per-FR NCSG includes supporting FR1 NCSG and supporting FR2 NCSG, that is, different NCSG patterns can be configured for FR1 and FR2, where different NCSG patterns can refer to different configurations of the NCSG, including different configured measurement periods and / or measurement interval lengths.

[0109] Based on the solution of this embodiment, even if the deactivated cell is not associated with the NCSG, since the frequency of this deactivated cell is the same as the frequency range of the NCSG, it can be understood that the frequency interval between this deactivated cell and the NCSG is not far, so the deactivated cell can still be measured through the NCSG, avoiding the throughput loss caused by measuring the deactivated cell outside the NCSG and the measurement interval in the related art.

[0110] In one embodiment, the measuring the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG includes:

[0111] When the second information indicates not to adopt the association between the frequency point and the measurement interval, measure the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG.

[0112] In one embodiment, when the second information indicates not to adopt the association between the frequency point and the measurement interval, the measuring the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG includes:

[0113] When the secondary cell is not associated with an NCSG, and when the second information indicates that the association between the frequency band and the measurement interval is not adopted, the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell is performed within the NCSG.

[0114] Here, the frequency band is associated with the measurement interval, where the measurement interval includes the NCSG and the measurement intervals other than the NCSG. When the network configures at least two measurement intervals, it will configure an associated frequency band for each measurement interval, and the corresponding frequency band is only measured within the associated measurement interval, that is, the case of the concurrent interval described above.

[0115] In the related art, since a non-activated cell can only be measured outside the NCSG or the measurement interval, if a cell associated with a measurement interval outside the NCSG is deactivated, or if a certain frequency band or certain frequency bands are associated with a measurement interval outside the NCSG, but the secondary cell of this frequency band is non-activated or deactivated, then for the deactivated cell, or for the frequency band of the non-activated cell, the terminal cannot clearly determine whether to measure within the NCSG or outside the measurement interval. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize whether the terminal measures within the NCSG or outside the measurement interval for the deactivated cell. Here, the network sends to obtain the second information. If the second information indicates that the association between the frequency band and the measurement interval is not adopted, then when measuring the secondary cell, the terminal can ignore the previously configured association between the frequency band and the measurement interval. It can be understood that even if the frequency band of the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG, the deactivated secondary cell can still be measured within the NCSG, or when the secondary cell is deactivated, the terminal can still measure the deactivated secondary cell through the NCSG. If the second information indicates that the association between the frequency band and the measurement interval is adopted, and if the frequency band of the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG, then the terminal measures the deactivated secondary cell outside the measurement interval.

[0116] In an embodiment, the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG includes:

[0117] When the SMTC and the NCSG partially overlap or completely overlap, the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell is performed within the NCSG.

[0118] Here, when the SMTC and the NCSG partially overlap or completely overlap, the terminal performs the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG, which can also be described as when the SMTC of the deactivated secondary cell and the NCSG partially overlap or completely overlap, the terminal performs the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG; or, it can be described as when the SMTC of the frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell and the NCSG partially overlap or completely overlap, the terminal performs the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG.

[0119] In an embodiment, the measurement of the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG includes:

[0120] When the set conditions are met, perform measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG, where the set conditions include at least one of the following:

[0121] The terminal supports NCSG;

[0122] The frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell is a frequency band that supports NCSG;

[0123] The frequency point of the deactivated secondary cell is a frequency point that supports NCSG;

[0124] Only the deactivated secondary cell supports NCSG.

[0125] Among them, the frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell being a frequency band that supports NCSG can also be described as the deactivated secondary cell being located in a frequency band that supports NCSG, or as the frequency point of the deactivated secondary cell being located in a frequency band that supports NCSG. The frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell being a frequency band that supports NCSG can also be described as the frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell requiring NCSG, or as the measurement of the frequency band of the deactivated secondary cell being performed through NCSG. The frequency point of the deactivated secondary cell being a frequency point that supports NCSG can also be described as the frequency point of the deactivated secondary cell requiring NCSG, or as the measurement of the frequency point of the deactivated secondary cell being performed through NCSG, or as the frequency point of the deactivated cell supporting NCSG.

[0126] In one embodiment, when the SMTC and the NCSG partially or completely overlap, perform measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG, including:

[0127] When the secondary cell is not associated with the NCSG, when the SMTC and the NCSG partially or completely overlap, perform measurements on the deactivated secondary cell within the NCSG.

[0128] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0129] Receive the third information sent by the network; among them,

[0130] The third information is used to indicate that the association between at least one frequency point of the terminal and the measurement interval of the non-NCSG takes effect only when the cell corresponding to the at least one frequency point is in the active state; or, the third information is used to indicate that the association between the at least one frequency point and the measurement interval of the non-NCSG becomes invalid when the cell corresponding to the at least one frequency point is in the non-active state.

[0131] That is to say, the third piece of information is used to indicate that the association between at least one frequency point of the terminal and the measurement interval of non-NCSG takes effect only when the cell corresponding to the at least one frequency point is in the active state. That is, when the cell changes from the active state to the deactivated state, the terminal can measure the deactivated cell within the NCSG.

[0132] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0133] Measuring the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval.

[0134] Here, "measuring the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval" can be used independently of step 301. The corresponding application scenario is that the measurement interval associated with a certain frequency point or certain frequency points is not NCSG. Then, the measurement of the deactivated cell cannot be performed within the NCSG. However, according to the related technology, the associated non-NCSG measurement interval cannot be used for measuring the deactivated cell. To standardize the behavior of the terminal, the terminal measures the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval. Measuring the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval can be understood as measuring outside all configured measurement intervals, which will bring additional interruptions, or in other words, will bring additional throughput losses.

[0135] In one embodiment, the measuring the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval includes:

[0136] Measuring the deactivated cell outside the measurement interval when a first condition is met. The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0137] The second piece of information indicates the association between the frequency point and the measurement interval;
